Fans will be treated to eight minutes of never-before-seen footage from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 when an extended edition of the film is released on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as digitally, on March 2.

Director Bill Condon said in a statement posted on the official Twilight Facebook page, “As Twilight series devotees know, there was a lot of ground to cover in adapting Breaking Dawn to the screen….I wanted to make sure that for all the Twihards out there, there was a chance to see some of these cut scenes — several of which are fan favorites from the book.”

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 was initially released on DVD last February.

The series ended with the release of the fifth and final film, Breaking Dawn — Part 2, in theaters last November.
